[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sea_salt:
Hi,

at first, I searched the forum, but I couldn't find enough information, so I started this thread...

My situation:

Start:

- SGS 2 completely stock

- Zergrush to get ADB-Root

- Made dd-Dump of Stock-Kernel --> got kernel-0p5.img via dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/p5-KERNEL.img bs=4096 on my sdcard

(up to here, I already made it, the following steps are just my plan, which I want to verify, before I continue)

Then (my plan is to...):

- Flashed CF-Kernel via Odin

- and kept Stock-Rom (--> ROM was NOT touched, CF-Kernel flashed only)

--> after all: assuming now want to unroot and get rid of all root-rights. (counter is not important, just want to return to stock-kernel)

- so my plan would be to dd-dump my own kernel-0p5.img back, so overwriting CF-Kernel...

So, the residing stock ROM was not touched at all... Will I have the stock-state back and all Root-Rights are revoked?

In my point of view, it should be, but I'm wondering about the following bold-part of Chainfire's post here:

I do not understand, why "root does usually stay" after flashing e.g. the stock kernel back via Odin... of course, this would thwart my plan above (to be able to return to stock and to be able to get rid of all root-rights)... why is that?

The user rainerwahn also says here, that flashing a stock kernel over CF-Kernel does not remove root. But I don't understand why...

So, as said above, what really bothers my is: When I apply my plan described above (flash dd-dump of my original stock kernel back after CF-Kernel was flashed via Odin) will root stay (which I don't wish) or will it

completely

be removed?

If it stays, why is that?

My assumptions would be...

It's not that flashing a CF-Kernel via Odin does NOT only affect if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5?

Or is the bootloader or if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 respectively the ROM, resp. the FACTORYFS also affected by flashing a CF-Kernel via Odin? ... In my point of view, this could be the only reason why root or root-rights could stay (if they do) after dd-dump the original kernel back...

PS: does it make a difference if I use my own dd-dump to return to my stock-kernel or I use Odin with a signed Stock-Kernel to flash over the CF-Kernel?

I appreciate your help very much!

Greets,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trainwreck512:
Finally got my new Transformer Prime from Best buy!

Sad news is all I can do is turn it on and watch the android tell me to start.

The touchscreen is completely unresponsive. I am on hold with Best Buy phone support right now (the lady has no idea what a transformer prime is).

I have tried cold boot by holding power and volume down for 5 secs...

Tried while charging and on batteries. I do not have a dock or a stylus.

Do you guys have any other ideas I can try before I punt this POS back to BB?

Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Let the battery discharge all the way until it shuts off, charge it up for a half hour or so and try it out again. It seems to have worked for some people in a thread around here somewhere who had their touchscreen stop working after an update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trainwreck512:
I let the battery discharge all the way until it shut off. This was not an easy task. Had to stay up to keep the screen on. When I restarted I had the same issue.

Unless there are any other ideas I may just have to return this thing.

Another question... Is it worth exchanging? Should I wait for the Tegra 3 Lenovo with 2 gigs ram? I am a very sad Panda:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Man, its stuff like this that should clue manufacturers in to allowing users to pull a battery. I have had funky issues with my Nexus One and not sure what I would do if I could not pull the battery in that puppy.

I hate to think of spending 6-8 hours trying to discharge the battery on the Prime for something like this.

I would call ASUS and see if they have any tricks you can try. If not then return through BestBuy. Not sure what the turn around time would be or how that relates to other T3 releases.

You could also try holding down the power button until you get the Eee Pad boot screen. I think that works like a warm boot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
The reset button should disconnect the battery for a short period of time, so that would be kinda the same isn't it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trainwreck512:
Where is the "Reset button" I already tried cold boot.

This is your chance everyone, before I send back to Best Buy. Any ideas. I don't care if it bricks it as I will prob send back.

Is there any special order to the drain power and restart. I tried restarting with the device plugged in. Should I take the time to try again to drain the power and try powering on with the device not plugged in?

Update: Found the reset button. Did not work:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
If you have hit the reset, cold booted it and ran the battery down, I am not sure what it left to try if you cannot navigate through the device. Maybe if you had the keyboard you could get in and install a touchscreen tester or something, but not sure how much I would trust your device if it still does not register touch after all that. Probably better to just return it and get another.

Honestly, I love the tablet and haven't had any serious issues with it. Sounds like you just got a dud.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trainwreck512:
I am starting to agree with you. If they had some in stock I wouldn't give it a second thought. Now I get to wait for Who knows how long to get another one. :(

I have put in an Esupport ticket with ASUS. I will update you on what they say.

FYI when it starts it only shows the home buttons for a split second. It pops up a small back box that says English. Is this normal behavior?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
It runs through the Google Device setup when you first launch it. I do not remember the exact order, but language would probably be the first option. :)

I assume this looks like a drop box where you would have the option of other languages, but of course you would not be able to test without being able to tap.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trainwreck512:
Those all come up, drop down menu is there and says English as well. What i'm talking about is a small black box appears over the android guy that says English and disappears. This happens in unison with the home buttons on the bottom that also disappear.

I will post a Youtube Video soon so you all can see.

Thank you for all your responses thus far!

UPDATE: I am not gonna post a video as my video camera is not yet working with ICS custom ROM.. I don't feel like putting an old Rom on. Sorry.

Truth is I give up. I am taking the prime back to Best Buy on lunch break for full refund. Think I'll go buy a Go Kart.

Thanks again for all the help!

UPDATE2: I really really want a Transformer prime... I decided to once again order from Best Buy.

This morning 2 hours after I ordered my 3rd Prime, Best Buy canceled the order.

Best Buy support said it was cause I changed the shipping address to my UPS store.

So they just Canceled the order.. I am now taking the large hint the universe is giving me.

I am not meant to have a Prime:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GaBoRoOtSs:
Does anibody have a xda transparent app to match the ics theme? I searchd but didnt find anithing and could sumone please get me the samsung keyboard theme from the kings ics theme please and thank you :)

sent from my wonderfull galaxy!..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Here's a transparent blue XDA app that goes very nicely with ICS. Tell me what you think, as I could go in and tweak the color a bit: (but I think it looks just fine...)

http://db.tt/wyVSzJP8
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solehjeff:
Do you have a xda premium inverted or transparent?

Nice transparent ics xda app though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GaBoRoOtSs:
Downloading now thanks ALOT!

sent from my wonderfull galaxy!..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GaBoRoOtSs:
I have the regular xda app

sent from my wonderfull galaxy!..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoke423:
thanks i been looking all over for this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoke423:
does anyone have one for the market?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Yep, I've got one of those too:

Transparent, blue-themed Market app:

http://db.tt/thNezS6B

(you're probably gonna have to go in and add a .bak to your market updater apk if you want this to stick, though. But that'll work just fine.

Edit: for who was asking for the transparent XDA Premium: Not only would that be warez, but it'd be XDA warez, which is prolly as warez-y as you can get.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solehjeff:
I guess i need to learn how to theme because i purchased xda premium just need it transparent or inverted. Thanks for the market and transparent xda app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Go into settings and for view choose "simple " to get inverted look. You have to close it b4 change takes place. Also, let me check my laptop, I think I have the regular transparent one...brb...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have the free XDA app transparent version by Pendo and theImpaler...give me a bit to track it down...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Nice app. I like it a lot minus the menu buttons lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solehjeff:
Wow that was simple, much easier on the eyes thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoke423:
i cant get the blue market app to install what should i do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
back up ur old one and copy with root explorer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoke423:
Ok I try
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Is this the transparent XDA app people want? I had this on my OG Epic. The blue one is nice but this one is super clean! If anyone wants it, just let me know...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
This would be sick if it was xda premium, I'd like to have the premium looking like this (I did buy the premium from the Market).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solehjeff:
+1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejdavis:
Yes...i want it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Here's the free version of Transparent XDA. Set to dark in settings, close it, reopen and enjoy. Remember, you have to long press a post to quote rather than tap it. Thanks to Pendo and TheImpaler..

http://db.tt/bPenVuh1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Didn't see this till just now, thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aairman23:
Is it supposed to only be transparent when within a specific thread or menu, cause apart from that, i have a white background

Triple restart fixed the above issue.This looks awesome... Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, you have to set view to dark in setrings
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Oh, I also have a transparent blue XDA also...display settings to light...enjoy!

Hi there,

i have a question about using different headsets on my Play.

My father wants to buy some "monster-beats" bye Dr Dre Headset and i wonder if i can use it for my play...

Did anyone make some experiences with other headsets using on the Phone?

greetings
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
There are a lot better sounding head sets than beats that are cheaper but any set will "work" I think head sets with forward/back buttons usually only work on iphones.

I sent you a pm. I'm still on gb and will not upgrade to HC since I love the floating bubbles of sense that's destroyed in HC and you can't access it anymore. I hope your telenav apk works for gb!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mark1107:
It worked great telenav apk! I like the orange icon very retro. Funny how I also have the blue icon one that doesn't work right beside your apk that works great. Than you.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Was getting between 5-8 mbps past week on 4 different local servers now today I am getting 15-20 mbps on those same servers has anyone else noticed this or is this just a fluke for me tonight?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Were the tests done at the same time-of-day, and none in the weekends?

Speed tests over the Internet add its variability into the mix. You should limit the test to your LAN only. A simple big-file-copy test should suffice.

Time-of-day may still matter, depending on your wireless environment's density. If it's crowded, a 9PM test would have lower performance than, say, a 3AM test.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 2later2never:
no but ill check that now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
it's odd but it seems like the more I use my prime the faster it gets in general... maybe I am getting used to it. Opera browser+ Go keyboard with tablet plug in in 10" tablet format is ftw
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I've had the opposite experience with speed test results. After the update yesterday, I'm getting a puny 3mbps when I usually averaged 20+ on a 35+ network.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] movielover76:
distance is key

People keep just mentioning speeds but not their location in respect to the router.

In the same room as router I get 20 mbps. Next room over 1 wall I drop down to 5 mbps.

In my bedroom 2 walls I drop to about 3mbps. Meanwhile my HTC tbolt is getting 12 mbps.

Is this kind of quick dropoff common for other users
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erismaster:
I get .5 to 2.5 mbps on my prime :( my gnex gets ~10 and so does my dads iPad on our wifi. I got one of the bad units :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
There was speculation among some of the Prime reviews that router brand matters.

In fact I think one of them made of a chart with speedtests from the same location and different routers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
time of day, location or distance from router, router brand, and network settings will all affect download and upload speeds. too many variables in the mix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
I tried doing a speedtest test yesterday, and the first time got a 5mbs DL and 1mbs UL. I then did the test on my phone and it said 18mbs DL and 5bms UL. So I was like wtf until I noticed that the app chose 2 different servers. I changed it up to the closest to me and what a difference. I hit 25mbs DL and 5mbs UL on my TP and I got 22mbs DL and 5mbs Ul on my phone. I am still rocking the .29 update since I can't update to the .33 just yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
My Wifi speeds got quite a bit faster from the .33 update.

Before the update speedtest.net app showed around 15-20Mbit/s now it's up to 25-30Mbit/s.

My internet connection has a constant speed of 32Mbit/s which is working all day no matter what time. Upload speeds are always 1Mbit/s which is the maximum of my line.

So I got a perfectly working Touchscreen and faster Wifi with this update --> perfectly happy now!

Edit: location was both times the same ofc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Yes, this is exactly what I'm suffering from as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I'm pretty sure they're all "bad" units. People who claim they have no wifi problems just aren't comparing the speed to other devices at decent distances from the router. Rather, I suspect they're basing their conclusions on the fact that browsing is fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
For any other WiFi device I use on my network, I can use the results from SpeedTest as a true estimate of the actual speeds that device can achieve, but I don't feel that way about the Prime.

While my SpeedTest results are in the 3 Mbps range for the Prime, I have no problem HD recording from Netflix, Veetle, Youtube or VLC.

Can anyone suggest another method for testing speeds on the Prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Best speed on my prime was on lower odd-numbered channels 3,5,8. But I'm on a 3-4 year old linksys router running dd-wrt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] movielover76:
Maybe, though I tried both my Actiontec FIOS Wireless N router

and my Linksys WRT54GL Wireless G router

and both results were bad
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erismaster:
q

We have the apple router. The extra game files for gta took 5 minutes to download on my phone, it took 45 minutes on my prime. Web browsing if fine, but downloading any data or streaming is almost impossible
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
not neccessarily. as i said before I tested Prime against my ipad1 and Atrix4g phone and Prime consistently pulled faster speeds regardless of distance and signal strength shown. did the same with atrix4g. and Prime using wifi analyzer. Prime was right on par with signal strength of phone. the Prime is just more sensitive to changes. but once again, it never affected its speeds. you have me, Diamondback2010 and a lot more showing great wifi download and upload speeds. maybe those who are experiencing issues need to check their router settings or something. Because to say everyone has bad wifi is incorrect. especially since 12/22 my prime has been connected to my wireless network nonstop. never dropped a connection or had issues with speed dropping off no matter where I was or how far from router.

edit: just did a quick speedtest.net test on Comcast network on Netgesr router

Download: 25mb

upload: 4mb

ping: 16ms

that's pretty damn good in my book n I've pulled even higher speeds on Prime b4 :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
For those of you noticing poor WiFi range and wondering whether you have a defective Prime from the much talked about early defective batch (like me), I suggest you read this article:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5178/an-update-on-transformer-prime-battery-life-wifi-issues

The reviewer in the article had both a defective Prime and a non-defective, replacement Prime, and compared the WiFi between the two.

Basically, the defective Prime had a cap of about 2 Mbps at any location. That is, even right near the router, the defective Prime wouldn't pull more than 2 Mbps, and was averaging about 0.5 Mbps in speed tests.

The non-defective replacement Prime the reviewer later got fixed this 2 Mbps cap problem, but still didn't have great speeds when moved away from the router. For example, the non-defective Prime the reviewer had got about 10-16 Mbps, while the original Transformer got about 34-37 Mbps at the same location.

So for those of you considering returning or RMA'ing your Prime because you get big speed drop-offs when moving away from the router, I strongly suggest you reconsider, since it seems this is a limitation/design flaw in all Primes. Stated simply, if you're not capped at a ridiculously low speed while at any location, your Prime is not defective.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
For the original poster, I have no idea, sorry. For the second poster, it definitely sounds like your digitizer is broken. Have the same problem with my HD2. You can get them for cheap on Amazon, but replacing it takes some skill. Don't know where you live, but most repair shops will do it for around $50 here in the states.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Nitro_123:
Same here. i tried the YukiXda/Xboxmod Rom and after a reboot the touchscreen stops working. Will report to the devs. do not worry my friend :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
Hey darky, did you try installing the old HTC drivers on your WP7? Not sure if you did, or if that particular rom uses the newer drivers, but that could potentially help out. I found the old drivers in the Xboxmod cab update thread. Don't know if the rom you're using supports cabs or not, I've only used xboxmod & yukis rom. Search that thread, would post a link but using my phone at work.

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Same as you, over here. As soon as I updated to SP1 & rebooted, no more touchscreen! But mine wouldn't work in any OS, including WM6.5. So I think my digitizer just had bad timing for me, but who knows could be rom related.
